Hello,
MailMate (5673) behaves strangely when composing messages with
Markdown backslash-escaped characters inside email addresses and
URLs.
In email addresses, \_ correctly renders to
_ in the HTML output, but only the part following the
underscore is hyperlinked as a mailto: link.
In URLs, the whole address is hyperlinked in HTML, but the
backslash is not removed. In the composer's plain-text pane, only
the part up to the backslash is hyperlinked.

Guess there's no obvious answer to the question of whether one
should even escape underscore and friends in these cases - if you
don't, you have invalid Markdown, yet if you do, the plain text
links are incorrect. You could however posit that if the escapes
are included, the rendered HTML should be correct.
